Fashion One operates internationally with offices in the United States, Europe and Asia. It has also been the partner of various global fashion-related events, including Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, House of iKons, and Perth Fashion Festival. As of October 2014, the channel has 14 feeds and has reached over 100 million viewers worldwide.

History

Michael Gleissner, a German entrepreneur founded the channel and its parent company, Bigfoot Entertainment, in 2004. The Fashion One Channel began broadcasting on April 8, 2010 under Fashion One Television LLC. It was initially available in the Philippines and Thailand to millions of households across free-to-air (FTA) and direct-to-home (DTH) satellites. It was then distributed globally via three satellites, namely the Galaxy 19 at 97°W, Hot Bird at 13°E and AsiaSat 3S at 105.5°E. The channel raised US$14 million in September to boost its in-house production slate as well as expanding its reach by adding more satellite capacity and upgrading existing broadcasts to full HD. Fashion One TV network later expanded its operation in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Africa, Western Europe and the United States It updated its production format from HD to Ultra HD in 2014 and launched Fashion 4K under the Fashion One television network on September 1, 2015.

Greatest hits album

A greatest hits album, sometimes called a "best of" album or a catalog album, is a compilation of songs by a particular artist or band. Most often the track list contains previously released recordings with a high degree of notability. However, to increase the appeal, especially to people who already own the original release, it is common to include remixes and/or alternate takes of popular songs; even new material (previously unreleased). At times a greatest hits compilation is the original release for songs that have themselves been released as a single and charted successfully.

Steve McCurry

Early life

Steve McCurry attended Penn State University. He originally planned to study cinematography and filmmaking, but ended up getting a degree in theater arts and graduating in 1974. He became interested in photography when he started taking pictures for the Penn State newspaper The Daily Collegian.

Career

His career was launched when, disguised in native garb, he crossed the Pakistan border into rebel-controlled areas of Afghanistan just before the Soviet invasion. When he emerged, he had rolls of film sewn into his clothes. Those images, which were published around the world, were among the first to show the conflict. His coverage won the Robert Capa Gold Medal for Best Photographic Reporting from Abroad, an award dedicated to photographers exhibiting exceptional courage and enterprise.

Until 1689, ballet in Russia was nonexistent. The Tsarist control and isolationism in Russia allowed for little influence from the West. It wasn't until the rise of Peter the Great that Russian society opened up to the West. St. Petersburg was erected to embrace the West and compete against Moscow’s isolationism. Peter the Great created a new Russia which rivalled the society of the West with magnificent courts and palaces. His vision was to challenge the west. Classical ballet entered the realm of Russia not as entertainment, but as a “standard of physical comportment to be emulated and internalized-an idealized way of behaving.”[1] The aim was not to entertain the masses of Russians, but to create a cultivated Russia and new people.
Jean-Baptiste Landé founded Russian ballet.
Empress Anna, (1730 – 1740) was devoted to ostentatious amusements (balls, fireworks, tableaux), and in the summer of 1734 ordered the appointment of Jean-Baptiste Landé as dancing-master in the military academy she had founded in 1731 for sons of the nobility. In 1738, he became ballet master and head of the new ballet school, launching the advanced study of ballet in Russia, and winning the patronage of elite families.[2]
France provided many leaders such as Charles Didelot in St Petersburg (1801-1831), Jules Perrot (1848-1859) and Arthur Saint-Léon (1859-69).
In the early 19th century, the theaters were opened up to anyone who could afford a ticket. A seating section called a rayok, or 'paradise gallery', consisted of simple wooden benches. This allowed non-wealthy people access to the ballet, because tickets in this section were inexpensive.
One author describes the Imperial ballet as “unlike that of any other country in the world…the most prestigious of the ballet troupes were those attached to the state-supported theatres. The directors of these companies were personally appointed by the tsar, and all the dancers were, in a sense, Imperial servants. In the theatre, the men in the audience always remained standing until the tsar entered his box and, out of respect, after the performance they remained in their places until he had departed. Curtain calls were arranged according to a strict pattern: first, the ballerina bowed to the tsar’s box, then to that of the theater director, and finally to the general public.

Until 1689, ballet in Russia was nonexistent. The Tsarist control and isolationism in Russia allowed for little influence from the West. It wasn't until the rise of Peter the Great that Russian society opened up to the West. St. Petersburg was erected to embrace the West and compete against Moscow’s isolationism. Peter the Great created a new Russia which rivalled the society of the West with magnificent courts and palaces. His vision was to challenge the west. Classical ballet entered the realm of Russia not as entertainment, but as a “standard of physical comportment to be emulated and internalized-an idealized way of behaving.”[1] The aim was not to entertain the masses of Russians, but to create a cultivated Russia and new people.
Jean-Baptiste Landé founded Russian ballet.
Empress Anna, (1730 – 1740) was devoted to ostentatious amusements (balls, fireworks, tableaux), and in the summer of 1734 ordered the appointment of Jean-Baptiste Landé as dancing-master in the military academy she had founded in 1731 for sons of the nobility. In 1738, he became ballet master and head of the new ballet school, launching the advanced study of ballet in Russia, and winning the patronage of elite families.[2]
France provided many leaders such as Charles Didelot in St Petersburg (1801-1831), Jules Perrot (1848-1859) and Arthur Saint-Léon (1859-69).
In the early 19th century, the theaters were opened up to anyone who could afford a ticket. A seating section called a rayok, or 'paradise gallery', consisted of simple wooden benches. This allowed non-wealthy people access to the ballet, because tickets in this section were inexpensive.
One author describes the Imperial ballet as “unlike that of any other country in the world…the most prestigious of the ballet troupes were those attached to the state-supported theatres. The directors of these companies were personally appointed by the tsar, and all the dancers were, in a sense, Imperial servants. In the theatre, the men in the audience always remained standing until the tsar entered his box and, out of respect, after the performance they remained in their places until he had departed. Curtain calls were arranged according to a strict pattern: first, the ballerina bowed to the tsar’s box, then to that of the theater director, and finally to the general public.

Moscow is a city of creativity and innovation, but is also very much aware of its own history; as such, a haunting part of any Moscow sightseeing is a visit to the Fallen Monument Park. After the fall of the Soviet Union, countless statues and monuments were removed from their pedestals and moved to this park. Over the years, more modern artwork and sculptures have been added, turning the park into a strange, yet peaceful graveyard of former icons.

The cathedral is representative of Moscow’s architecture with red brick monuments and an accumulation of onion-shaped towers. The Kremlin extends beyond a red wall and various towers that date back to the fifteenth century. Since time immemorial it has been the seat of both tsars and bishops and in front of its walls is Red Square that was once used as a marketplace and also a place of execution. Here the death penalty was declared and immediately carried out. Arbatskaya is a city district west of the Kremlin. In the fifteenth century, the craftsmen and servants of the Tsar lived there and then followed artists, intellectuals and aristocrats. In 1935 the Metro was inaugurated and had thirteen stations. Today there are more than a hundred located along two hundred and sixty kilometres of rail, used by millions each and every day. The Moscow Underground is fast, cheap and quite splendid. Its stations are veritable works of art! When the Tsar’s empire vanished, the realm of the Communist rulers was torn apart. But the mega metropolis of Moscow managed to survive. A restless and powerful city of fantastic culture and truly dramatic history.

Vasiliya Blazhennovo Khram, Basilius Cathedral, is one of the main landmarks of the Russian metropolis and was built at the command of Moscow sovereign, IvanThe Fourth, also known as Ivan The Terrible, Russia’s first Tsar. The cathedral is representative of Moscow’s architecture with red brick monuments and an accumulation of onion-shaped towers. The Kremlin extends beyond a red wall and various towers that date back to the fifteenth century. Since time immemorial it has been the seat of both tsars and bishops and in front of its walls is Red Square that was once used as a marketplace and also a place of execution. Here the death penalty was declared and immediately carried out. Arbatskaya is a city district west of the Kremlin. In the fifteenth century, the craftsmen and servants of the Tsar lived there and then followed artists, intellectuals and aristocrats. In 1935 the Metro was inaugurated and had thirteen stations. Today there are more than a hundred located along two hundred and sixty kilometres of rail, used by millions each and every day. The Moscow Underground is fast, cheap and quite splendid. Its stations are veritable works of art! When the Tsar’s empire vanished, the realm of the Communist rulers was torn apart. But the mega metropolis of Moscow managed to survive. A restless and powerful city of fantastic culture and truly dramatic history.

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

Four hundred miles west of Moscow is St. Petersburg, Russia. A striking city resting on the banks of the Neva River, St. Petersburg has long been a draw for lovers of architecture, as St. Petersburg tours often begin with the city's legendary structures.
Enter a world of towering cathedrals, palaces, and gardens, many of them set down by the order of Peter the Great in the 18th century. As the decades passed, later members of Russian royalty added to the city's opulence by constructing additional marvels. Walk through the Palace Square, located in the heart of St. Petersburg and home of the Winter Palace, the sprawling home of Catherine the Great. Next, pay a visit to St. Isaac's Cathedral and its gold-plated dome, which glitters in the sunshine. If you walk to the top of its dome, you will be rewarded with astonishing views of the city.
Continue your St. Petersburg sightseeing by taking a boat ride down the river to PeterhofGardens & Palace. This gilded structure and its lush array of plant life was constructed to rival France's Palace of Versailles, and is a popular place for a quiet walk in nature or to reflect upon the engineering marvel of its 60 fountains, all of which flow continuously without the use of pumps.
Spend your evening walking along Nevsky Prospect, St. Petersburg's main thoroughfare. Besides offering even more beautiful architecture to gaze upon, Nevsky Prospect is loaded with restaurants and boutiques. Enjoy a delicious meal, shop around for the perfect Russian souvenir, and plan the itinerary for your next day in this magnificent city.

Curator’s Perspective “Broken Promises: Soviet Photography in the Age of Stalin”

Presented by Susan Tumarkin Goodman, SeniorCurator Emerita at the Jewish MuseumSoviet photographs have played a pivotal role in the history of photography. Covering the period from the 1917Bolshevik Revolution through the 1930s, this lecture will examine how photography and film were harnessed to disseminate Communist ideology. Goodman will explore how early avant-garde aesthetics influenced a new Soviet style, as well as the innovations of early Soviet lens-based art during a time of profound social transformation. The lecture will include striking images by master photographers and filmmakers used as powerful propaganda tools in the new Soviet Union.

This footage was captured by the official UK3Lions photographer; Rob Holding using a single GoPro Camera positioned at the front of the mixing desk. Rob had not intended to capture video that evening and consequently, the quality of sound & video in this impromptu recording reflects this.

Leonid Kogan Documentary

Leonid Kogan interview
Kogan was born in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine, the son of a photographer who was an amateur violinist. After showing an early interest and ability for violin playing, his family moved to Moscow, where he was able to further his studies. From age ten he studied there with the noted violin pedagogue Abram Yampolsky. In 1934, Jascha Heifetz played concerts in Moscow. "I attended every one," Kogan later said, "and can remember until now every note he played. He was the ideal artist for me." When Kogan was 12, Jacques Thibaud was in Moscow and heard him play. The French virtuoso predicted a great future for Kogan.
Kogan studied at the Central MusicSchool in Moscow (1934--43), then at the Moscow Conservatory (1943--48), where he studied as a postgraduate (1948--51).

Immersed in Moscow: Mixing an unusual artist with water and models.

Alexander James is an established artist from London. For his new collection, he packed his studio in a truck and drove it all the way to Moscow where he rents the cellar of an old factory. At first, the space is uninhabitable but necessity is the mother of invention and Alexander soon has everything ready for his new project, including a large pool of water. A stream of unusual people and things pass through the makeshift studio, all part of the process by which Alexander James produces the most unusual and mesmerising photographic art works. Alexander has few rules but one is sacrosanct, the final image must be a true representation so there can be no post-production or manipulation.
Alexander James combines many art forms to create images that are reminiscent of the old masters. Art en...

Lecture by Ekaterina Degot at GarageMuseum. How to Look at Soviet ArtWithoutHatred.
This lecture, organized as part of the Garage Field Research project If Our Soup Can Could Speak...Mikhail Lifshitz and the Soviet Sixties, considers art historical perceptions of official art under communism and Mikhail Lifshitz’s aesthetic program as seen today. Degot raises the following questions: “Mikhail Lifshitz was a pointed critic of western Modernism, whose observations and critiques are still relevant, even productive. But how should we react to a positive program? How can we look at Soviet official art of the post-war period without feeling disgust? Which aesthetic assumptions do we need to change? And how can we do it now, when all things Soviet seem like an endless nightmare?”

Hungarian Photography in the 20th Century - Colin Ford

"It's not enough to have talent, you also have to be Hungarian." So quipped the great photographer Robert Capa. In this lecture, renowned photography expert Colin Ford details the lives and work of some of the great Hungarians who so dominated photography throughout the 20th Century. Weaving a tale of the personal lives of the photographers and the photographs they took, and contrasting this with the vast wars and collapsing empires which so dominated the 20th Century, Colin paints a fascinating picture of this relatively modern art form. Illustrated throughout with the iconic images they took, the lecture was recorded by Voices from Oxford in the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford, and shown at a New YorkPhotographyFestival to a large and attentive audience.

Deborah Copaken (born March 11, 1966) is an American author and photojournalist. About the book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375758682/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0375758682&linkCode=as2&tag=tra0c7-20&linkId=857150f4318cc588d80f838e0bd30a06
Prior to beginning a writing career, Copaken was a television producer at ABC and NBC and a war photographer.[6][9][10] Her novel Between Here and April[11] was published in 2008 and won the November ElleReader's Prize.[12] In 2009, she released a book of comic essays, Hell is Other Parents, some of which appeared in the New Yorker and the New York Times.[13][14] In 2001, she published a memoir of her experiences in photojournalism, Shutterbabe.[9] Her second novel, The Red Book, published by Hyperion/VOICE in April 2012, was a New York Times bestseller.[15] The book was longlisted for the 2013Women's Prize for Fiction.[9][16]
Inspired by the longlisting of her novel, Copaken in 2013 wrote an essay for The Nation detailing sexism she has encountered and observed in her career.[9][17][18][19] Among other issues, she writes that she was forced to use the titles under which her earlier books appeared.
She has performed and curated live storytelling for The Moth;[20] she has also performed on the New York stage with Afterbirth,[21] the Six Word Memoir series. She is currently adapting Shutterbabe as a TV series for NBC.[22]
In February 2015, following a hysterectomy, she conducted a performance piece titled "A Dear John Letter To My Uterus" at Joe's Pub in Manhattan.

Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that employs images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (e.g., documentary photography, social documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by complying with a rigid ethical framework which demands that the work is both honest and impartial whilst telling the story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists create pictures that contribute to the news media.
Timeliness
The images have meaning in the context of a recently published record of events.
Objectivity
The situation implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation of the events they depict in both content and tone.
Narrative
The images combine with other news elements to make facts relatable to the viewer or reader on a cultural level.
Like a writer, a photojournalist is a reporter but he or she must often make decisions instantly and carry photographic equipment, often while exposed to significant obstacles (e.g., physical danger, weather, crowds).
The Danish Union of Press Photographers (Pressefotografforbundet) was the first national organization for newspaper photographers in the world. It was founded in 1912 in Copenhagen, Denmark by six press photographers.[24] Today it has over 800 members.
The NationalPress Photographers Association (NPPA) was founded in 1946 in the U.S., and has about 10,000 members. Others around the world include the British Press Photographers Association[25] (BPPA) founded in 1984, then relaunched in 2003, and now has around 450 members. Hong Kong Press Photographers Association (1989), Northern Ireland Press Photographers Association (2000), Pressfotografernas Klubb (Sweden, 1930), and PK — Pressefotografenes Klubb (Norway).[26]
Magnum Photos was founded in 1947 by Robert Capa, David "Chim" Seymour, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, William Vandivert, Rita Vandivert and Maria Eisner, being one of the first photographic cooperatives, owned and administered entirely by its members worldwide.
VII Photo Agency was founded in September 2001 and got its name from the original seven founders, Alexandra Boulat, Ron Haviv, Gary Knight, Antonin Kratochvil, Christopher Morris, James Nachtwey and John Stanmeyer. Today it has 30 members, along with a mentor program.
News organizations and journalism schools run many different awards for photojournalists. Since 1968, Pulitzer Prizes have been awarded for the following categories of photojournalism: 'FeaturePhotography', 'SpotNews Photography'. Other awards are World Press Photo, Best of Photojournalism, and Pictures of the Year as well as the UK based The PressPhotographer's Year.

Curator’s Perspective “Broken Promises: Soviet Photography in the Age of Stalin”

Presented by Susan Tumarkin Goodman, SeniorCurator Emerita at the Jewish MuseumSoviet photographs have played a pivotal role in the history of photography. Covering the period from the 1917Bolshevik Revolution through the 1930s, this lecture will examine how photography and film were harnessed to disseminate Communist ideology. Goodman will explore how early avant-garde aesthetics influenced a new Soviet style, as well as the innovations of early Soviet lens-based art during a time of profound social transformation. The lecture will include striking images by master photographers and filmmakers used as powerful propaganda tools in the new Soviet Union.

InterviewSteve McCurry. The GreatPhotographer.
Steve McCurry (born April 23, 1950) is an American photographer who has worked in photojournalism and editorial. He is best known for his 1984 photograph "Afghan Girl", which originally appeared in National Geographic magazine.[1] McCurry is a member of Magnum Photos.
McCurry is the recipient of numerous awards, including Magazine Photographer of the Year, awarded by the National Press Photographers Association; the Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal;[2] and two first-place prizes in the World Press Photo contest (1985 and 1992)
Life and work[edit]
McCurry attended Penn State University. He originally planned to study cinematography and filmmaking, but instead gained a degree in theater arts and graduated in 1974. He became interested in photography when he started taking pictures for the Penn State newspaper The Daily Collegian.[4]
After working at Today's Post in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania for two years, he left for India to freelance.
McCurry's career was launched when, disguised in Afghani garb, he crossed the Pakistan border into rebel-controlled areas of Afghanistan just before the Soviet invasion.[5] He left with rolls of film sewn into his clothes. These images were subsequently published by The New York Times, TIME and Paris Match[6] and won him the Robert Capa Gold Medal for Best Photographic Reporting from Abroad.[7]
McCurry continued to cover armed conflicts, including the Iran-Iraq War, Lebanon Civil War, the Cambodian Civil War, the Islamic insurgency in the Philippines, the Gulf War and the Afghan Civil War.[7] His work has been featured in magazines and he is a frequent contributor to National Geographic. He has been a member of Magnum Photos[8] since 1986.[9]
McCurry focused on the human consequences of war, intending to not only show what war impresses on the landscape, but rather, on the human face. “Most of my images are grounded in people. I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face. I try to convey what it is like to be that person, a person caught in a broader landscape, that you could call the human condition.”[10]
In 2001 Steve McCurry exhibited in an international art exhibition organized by the agency Leo Burnett with the Italian painterUmberto Pettinicchio, in Lausanne in Switzerland.
McCurry is portrayed in a TV documentaryThe Face of the Human Condition (2003) by Denis Delestrac.
McCurry switched from shooting color slide film to digital capture in 2005 for the convenience of editing in the field and transmitting images to photo editors. He admitted to no nostalgia about working in film in an interview with The Guardian. "Perhaps old habits are hard to break, but my experience is that the majority of my colleagues, regardless of age, have switched over... The quality has never been better. You can work in extremely low light situations, for example."[11]
However, in June 2010, he was working on a project (a series of portraits) that involved the use of one of the last remaining rolls of Kodachrome transparency film which had been discontinued by Kodak. The roll was processed in July 2010 by Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kansas and was to be housed at the George Eastman House.[1][12] Most of the photos, excluding a few near-duplicates, have been published on the Internet by Vanity Fair.[13] "I shot it for 30 years and I have several hundred thousand pictures on Kodachrome in my archive. I'm trying to shoot 36 pictures that act as some kind of wrap up – to mark the passing of Kodachrome. It was a wonderful film."
In May 2013 McCurry was Pirelli's choice of photographer to shoot the pictures for the 2013 Pirelli Calendar in Rio de Janeiro.
"Afghan Girl"[edit]
Main article: Afghan Girl
McCurry took his most recognized portrait, "Afghan Girl",[14] in December 1984 of an approximately 12-year-old Pashtun orphan in the Nasir Bagh refugee camp near Peshawar, Pakistan.[15] The image itself was named as "the most recognized photograph" in the history of the National Geographic magazine, and her face became famous as the cover photograph on the June 1985 issue. The photo has also been widely used on Amnesty International brochures, posters, and calendars. The identity of the "Afghan Girl" remained unknown for over 17 years until McCurry and a National Geographic team located the woman, Sharbat Gula, in 2002. McCurry said, “Her skin is weathered; there are wrinkles now, but she is as striking as she was all those years ago.”
Controversy about photo manipulation[edit]
In 2016 McCurry was accused of extensively manipulating his images with Photoshop and by other means, removing individuals and other elements. [16][17]

Leonid Kogan interview
Kogan was born in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine, the son of a photographer who was an amateur violinist. After showing an early interest and ability for violin playing, his family moved to Moscow, where he was able to further his studies. From age ten he studied there with the noted violin pedagogue Abram Yampolsky. In 1934, Jascha Heifetz played concerts in Moscow. "I attended every one," Kogan later said, "and can remember until now every note he played. He was the ideal artist for me." When Kogan was 12, Jacques Thibaud was in Moscow and heard him play. The French virtuoso predicted a great future for Kogan.
Kogan studied at the Central MusicSchool in Moscow (1934--43), then at the Moscow Conservatory (1943--48), where he studied as a postgraduate (1948--51).

Alexander James is an established artist from London. For his new collection, he packed his studio in a truck and drove it all the way to Moscow where he rents the cellar of an old factory. At first, the space is uninhabitable but necessity is the mother of invention and Alexander soon has everything ready for his new project, including a large pool of water. A stream of unusual people and things pass through the makeshift studio, all part of the process by which Alexander James produces the most unusual and mesmerising photographic art works. Alexander has few rules but one is sacrosanct, the final image must be a true representation so there can be no post-production or manipulation.
Alexander James combines many art forms to create images that are reminiscent of the old masters. Art enthusiasts may recognise famous masterpieces referenced in his work. The artist believes that the camera should do more than simply document reality; it should project a unique vision and his Russian collection, “Distil Ennui”, seeks to reveal the essence and beauty of life. Water is skilfully employed to adjust reality to creative effect. Certain aspects of Alexander’s technique are kept secret, as he has worked hard to develop and master a process that gives his work an enigmatic feel, midway between reality and dreams.
Several practical and bureaucratic difficulties surrounding his art project though were far from dreamlike. Faced with new challenges at every step of the way, Alexander is determined to view them as an adventure and experience but as the problems pile up, there are times when the whole endeavour appears to be in jeopardy. The unusual adventures of an unusual Englishman in Moscow, only on RTD.

Certain aspects of Alexander’s technique are kept secret, as he has worked hard to develop and master a process that gives his work an enigmatic feel, midway between reality and dreams.
Several practical and bureaucratic difficulties surrounding his art project though were far from dreamlike. Faced with new challenges at every step of the way, Alexander is determined to view them as an adventure and experience but as the problems pile up, there are times when the whole endeavour appears to be in jeopardy. The unusual adventures of an unusual Englishman in Moscow, only on RTD.

"It's not enough to have talent, you also have to be Hungarian." So quipped the great photographer Robert Capa. In this lecture, renowned photography expert Colin Ford details the lives and work of some of the great Hungarians who so dominated photography throughout the 20th Century. Weaving a tale of the personal lives of the photographers and the photographs they took, and contrasting this with the vast wars and collapsing empires which so dominated the 20th Century, Colin paints a fascinating picture of this relatively modern art form. Illustrated throughout with the iconic images they took, the lecture was recorded by Voices from Oxford in the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford, and shown at a New YorkPhotographyFestival to a large and attentive audience.

We Climbed To The Top Of Moscow's Tallest Buildings (HBO)

This segment originally aired Oct. 21, 2016, on VICENews Tonight on HBO.
Russian “roofers” climb to dizzying heights to capture the perfect selfie, becoming internet celebrities along the way. But roofing isn’t just about danger and adrenaline, Kirill Vselensky told VICE News correspondent Gianna Toboni. “It’s a way to have adventure without leaving the city.”
Some of Vselensky’s more than 50,000 Instagram followers now pay him for tours, and corporate sponsors are starting to fund even wilder stunts. “It’s my main source of income,” he said.
When he’s traveling, Vselensky roofs to learn about a new city from an aerial perspective. “I was in Istanbul where we climbed the Blue Mosque, and in Cairo I climbed the Egyptian pyramids,” he added.

Elena Chernyshova, a Russian documentary photographer, spent seven months over the course of a year in Russia’s most polluted city, Norilsk.
Her project, "Days of Night – Nights of Day," documents the unique lifestyle of Norilsk residents living in the isolated industrial city deep in Siberia.
This year her work was honored with the third-place prize in the "daily life" category of the World Press PhotoAwards.
The Moscow Times met with Chernyshova for an interview in Moscow to talk about her project and life in Norilsk.
